Download FileZilla 3.13.0

After two release candidates, FileZilla has now released the final version of version 3.13.0 of its open source FTP client of the same name, a beta this time. FileZilla is small, simple and yet complete. The program is popular due to its low system resource load. However, a common complaint is that passwords are stored unencrypted on the computer. FileZilla is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and can be downloaded from this page be downloaded in different versions.

SourceForge, which hosts the downloads, has been in the news lately because it offers some downloads through its own download manager that contains adware. If the download is less than 1MB in size and has an icon with the letters ‘SF’, you’ve got the wrong one. If the download is about 6MB and there is a FileZilla icon, then you’re good. The changelog for this release looks like this:

New features:

• Display home directory instead of root directory if the last used directory does not exist
• Larger initial size of main window if there is no stored size
• Slightly increased size of page selection box in settings dialog

Bug fixes and minor changes:

• Fix assertion in directory listing parser
• Fix drag&drop of remote files which broke in 3.13.0-rc1
